Progress Update: July - August 2021

Hi everyone! As I discussed in the previous update, the massive, and much needed UI/UX overhaul we've been working on is just about wrapped up outside of the odd bit of final polish. This puts us in a really nice position to start adding more of the really fun stuff like new weapons, items, and relics! I don't want to give away too many specifics right now, but here's a quick look at some of the new loot I've been working on:

Items

I tried to have fun with the Victorian theme and time-period for these. The "Dubious Handkerchief" and "Shrapnel-filled Corset" are two of my favs :P

Weapons

My main goal with the new weapons was to pad out some of the underserved classes such as beam and fire. My personal fav goes to "The Fragpipes", which is the most shrill-sounding homing missile launcher ever devised!

Relics

For the new relics, I continued to lean into the same mythological themes and figures as the existing relics.

We still need to get all of the new additions integrated and working as intended, but we're so happy to finally flesh this stuff out a bit, and provide a wider range of fun toys to play with :D Thank you for reading, and please stay safe and take care of yourselves. Craig

Monsters and Monocles [Linux] [188 M]

Monsters & Monocles is a frantic, Victorian steampunk themed twin-stick shooter all about using teamwork and heavy weaponry to battle the hordes of evil. A naive occult collector has unknowingly unleashed a great evil that is spreading across the globe, and it’s up to you and a team of quirky paranormal investigators to find the source of this dark energy and blast it back to where it came from.

Online and Local Multiplayer

Take on the challenge solo, or play with up to 4 players online or locally. Your team shares a single pool of lives so you need to stick together, revive fallen comrades, and watch each other’s backs.

Customize Your Play Style

Search out and use powerful weapons to aid you in battle like the blunderbuss, stake launcher and the crumpet cannon - a steampunk toaster that fires weaponized crumpets.
Find and equip relics to customize your weapons and add new abilities to match your play style, and upgrade them by looting chests and destroying enemies.

Procedurally Generated World

Each level is procedural so you and your comrades will be faced with unique enemy placement, traps, secrets and objectives each time you play. Your trusty airship the HMS Scone acts as your hub and lets you gear up before taking on challenging levels like the haunted mansion, snowy Victorian streets and a cursed Pharaoh’s tomb. Each area ends with a fearsome boss encounter, such as a demonic chimney sweep or a giant cyclops skull.
